<div class="">I realized I (also?) have a copy of the texmf file on Dropbox and that has all the files. </div>
<div class="">It appears that this is the up-to-date version (I checked one file, and the latest modification was last week). </div>
<div class="">But I am not sure how to instruct the TeXShop engine to use those files.</div>
<div class="">When I search for them in Finder, I go Dropbox->texmf->tex->latex->MyMacros and in there are the relevant files.</div>

<div class="">I am assuming that the path in Dropbox is accurate, that is, that texmf is right below the Dropbox directory. So, what I would do is link DropBox to ~/Library/texmf as follows: open Terminal.app and then run the following commands:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><font face="Menlo" style="font-size: 12px;" class="">cd ~/Library</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Menlo" style="font-size: 12px;" class="">rm texmf</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Menlo" style="font-size: 12px;" class="">ln -s ~/Dropbox/texmf .</font></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">(Note the dot in the last line!) The first line changes to the ~/Library directory. The tilde is a shorthand for your home, typically /Users/<yourusername>. The second line removes the alias. The third does the linking. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Then your files in the texmf subtree should be available. What this does is just linking, so the actual files will still be on DropBox. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Hope this helps,</div>
